authorization-testing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automatically validates authorization vulnerabilities such as Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR), privilege escalation, and missing access controls. It eliminates the manual, time-consuming process of dynamically testing these critical security flaws, helping you prevent data breaches and unauthorized system access.

Core Features & Use Cases

• IDOR & Privilege Escalation Detection: Automatically tests for horizontal and vertical privilege escalation, confirming if users can access or modify resources they shouldn't, or elevate their roles.
• Missing Access Control Validation: Dynamically verifies if critical endpoints or functionalities are accessible without proper authentication or authorization.
• Dynamic Testing with Evidence: Executes tests against a running application, providing concrete evidence (HTTP requests/responses) of confirmed vulnerabilities or proper security controls.
• Use Case: After a static code analysis flags potential authorization issues, use this Skill to dynamically confirm if a regular user can access another user's private data, or if a low-privileged user can perform administrative actions on your web application.

Quick Start

Validate authorization for the /api/user/{id} endpoint. Use user 'alice' with ID '123' and user 'bob' with ID '456' to check for IDOR.
